Project uncovers hidden American Indian mural
Barbara Forgas discovered what is believed to be American Indian artwork behind the walls of a bathroom in a Lewisberry, York County, home. See another view below.
Did you catch the story about the Lewisberry woman who found four, 8-foot panels bearing images of American Indians inside a bathroom she was remodeling? (See video at art in action).
Frank Littlebear, a York County resident and member of the Cree Nation, believes the panels might be ledger art - paintings designed to tell a story or mark an event... .
He told the York Daily Record that Indians sometimes buried artwork within the walls or floors of houses to avoid persecution.
'It's very, very possible ... it was put there to hide and protect it,' the lecturer in Native American culture conjectured.
